If all short-term vacation rentals (STRs) were eliminated on Oʻahu, home prices could drop by as much as 6% and rents may fall by as much as 8%, according to a new blog by University of Hawaiʻi Economic Research Organization (UHERO) experts.
To help in the future monitoring efforts of an endangered population of resident false killer whales in Hawaiian waters, where only 167 individuals are estimated to remain, researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Health and Stranding Lab examined blubber samples of a false killer whale that died as bycatch in a fishery interaction, and published the findings in Frontiers.
Like others across the world, indigenous Fijians (known as iTaukei) in Fiji are facing increased pressure to honor their loved ones with a memorable funeral that can become costly.
A study found that disrupting the metabolic pathway in the initiation, growth and progression of melanoma could lead to development of new treatments.
PhD student Will Sussman studies wireless networks while fostering community networks.
The best known semiconductor—silicon—famously blurs the line between metal and insulator. Sometimes it conducts electricity, like copper, and other times it stops electrical currents, like a block of wood.
Texas A&M researchers have designed a device that stimulates the endings of the vagus nerve, which is responsible for the regulation of food intake.
Global warming in excess of 2 degrees Celsius has already been set into motion by past emissions, says a team of researchers including a Texas A&M professor.
Thirty-one percent of respondents to a Texas A&M-led survey said they don’t intend to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

MIT researchers develop "FrameDiff," a computational tool that uses generative AI to craft new protein structures, with the aim of accelerating drug development and improving gene therapy.
Researchers create a privacy technique that protects sensitive data while maintaining a machine-learning model’s performance.
As glaciers in Antarctica have melted, previously ice-entombed black mosses have been exposed. A team led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers conducted extensive analyses on these mosses discovered in the northern Antarctic Peninsula, which revealed sensitive glacier behavioral responses to the climate over the past 1,500 years.
Celestial phenomena that change with time such as exploding stars, mysterious objects that suddenly brighten and variable stars are a new frontier in astronomical research, with telescopes that can rapidly survey the sky revealing thousands of these objects.
A problem that has puzzled the scientific community for more than 50 years has finally been solved by researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Florida International University and Ruhr University Bochum (Germany).
The longest comparison of U.S. Army and civilian suicides suggests societal factors are driving both military and civilian suicides, challenging assumptions that military suicides are primarily driven by combat trauma or other war-related causes.
